Nankei Pottery | Japanese Teapot & Teacup Collection

Nankei Pottery is a small kiln that was established in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture Japan, in 1913. It specializes in producing teapots and teacups for Banko ware, shaping the rich lives and sensibilities of the Japanese people. With a long history of accumulated high craftsmanship, it manages all complex processes of pottery production in-house. Nankei Pottery, a professional in creating tools that connect traditional and modern lifestyles, has passionately dedicated years to crafting teaware essential for enriching tea-time experiences.

The collection of Teapots and Teacups by Nankei Pottery centers around Banko ware, a type of teapot that began in Mie Prefecture, Japan, 300 years ago, along with a series of beautiful cups suitable for a wide range of beverages from tea to others. Nankei Pottery carries out the multiple complex processes of teapot manufacturing all under one roof, where artisans meticulously join each part of the teapot by hand. The 13-step process, including biscuit firing, glost firing, fitting the lids, and three rounds of inspection, spans approximately a month and a half. Each piece has its subtle variations in expression, but this collection is perfect for those who wish to deepen their affection with careful use and enjoy a comfortable tea time.

The ideal teapot envisioned by Nankei Pottery is one that not only brews delicious tea but is also easy to handle, durable, harmonizes with other utensils and spaces, and brings a sense of serenity and character appropriate for peaceful moments. Nankei Pottery's teapots, while inheriting the history of Banko ware, possess a simple beauty that fits the modern era. Enjoy the warmth of the clay and the mindful actions through a teapot that feels right in your hands, inviting a slow and tranquil time.
